I was just wondering what framework county assemblies have been using in vetting CEC members and chief officers. No wonder there have been a lot of chaos in many counties. A lot of corruption, tribalism and nepotism have been going on just because we never had a clear framework. Chapter Six of the Constitution on leadership and integrity is very critical. It is important that it is operationalised so that we can have a questionnaire the same way it happens here at the National Assembly when it comes to vetting CSs and Principal Secretaries (PSs). There must be clear criteria so that vetting is only done for senior positions. People like clerks and drivers should not be subjected to such a process.
